Mechanical guided waves for fuel level monitoring system

The mechanical guided waves have a wide range of applications in many types of equipment and devices. The fuel level is an important parameter which needs to be monitored for a vehicle which can be a space vehicle, an ai...

On the Conditional Probabilities in PRA

Mathematical modeling of existing hazards and risks in a system such as aviation starts from identifying and evaluating significant numerical parameters by different procedures. The chosen criteria and the expression of...

[b]Design of a compact six-component force and moment sensor for aerodynamic testing[/b]

The measurement of steady and fluctuating forces acting on a body in a flow is one of the main tasks in wind-tunnel experiments. Usually, a multi-component strain gauge force and moment sensor (also known as balance) is...
